Gen. Pryor will Attack the Comssitu.

Jury.
CHICAGO, sept. 23.-Gen. Roger A. Pryor was
quoted in yesterdays dispatches saying that he
was undecided just what form OF appeal he would
take In the anarchist case, but that he should
attack the constitutionalty OF the Illinois law re-
garding the construction OF the Jury. 'Tais law
has been I'm operation since ls74." said Gen.
Pryor, "and has not yet been passed upon by the
Supreme Court"
II haven't anything 10 saw about the natter =
Mr.. Grinnell replied with his usual urbanlty TO n
reporter, who Ventured TO ask What he thought OF
Gen. Pryor's views on the Jury law. Il have al
ready said thar the anarchist case cannot he car
ried into the United states supreme court on any
preteNt whatever"
''The constitutionality OF the law has never
been called In question before" said Judge jamie
son. 81 have not read the fun report OF the Su-
preme Court decision In the anarchist case. It
may be that exceptions were taken during the
ceptions were taken the supreme Court certainly
acted upon them. II no such exceptions were
taken during the trial the point cannot now be
raised, as the United States supreme Court viii
only consider such points were raised during
the trial or the case. The act itself Is the law
under which all our turies were drawn. and n at
some future time IL should prove unconstitutional.
it would, of course, have a very widespread in-
nuence upon Illinois courts IN general. IL is cer-
tainly Vital point"
Melville W. Fuller said that II was impossible 10
tell from the dispatch exactly what defense Gen.
Pryor would make. He had looked up the laws OF

EDITOR O'BRIEN'S TRIAL.
A WISE DECISION.
No League Meetings During O,Brien's
Trial-COmmcnts on Dayitt's Visit To

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING Sr.p
LONDON, Sept 23.-The Irish leaders have wisely
decided not TO hold any meeting at Mltchelstown
during the sitting Of the court which tries Bren
SO that the government proclamation or a meeting
In advance viii not apply. Meanwhile the general
attitude OF the people toward the government is
not determined on. A United Ireland editorial
lays down the principle of passive resistance. The
suppressed branches OF the league are to go on
holding meetings, the police seeking TO intrude on
the meetings indoors TO be barred out and open air
demonstrations to follow any such Invasion OF
private premises, which members OF parliament
will be invited to attend. United IrcIdnds coz
clusion is that there will be SO many prisoners
that the machinery OF the government Will break
down under the strain. There has, however, been
as yet no positive declaration from ParneI, ami
the organ OF the or1 mayor OF Dublin advises that
until this is obtained no meetings vii be held.
The Times absurdly attributes Davitt's visit to
America to his fear OF the coercion act. As have
frequently Informed you, Davitt has arranged his
affairs with view to imprisonment at any mo-
ment. Davitt says forcibly that the Irish party
has compelled the tories TO abandon dual owner
ship, and IL is now being punished for Its work.
He objects TO Gladstones constitution IN regard 10
its plan OF two orders aud its fiscal burdens, and
says that his purpose is TO see Ireland free toman
age her own affairs in her own way, without any
| interference whatever from any other people Tor
any purpose. This Will probably be quoted as a
declaration in favor OF separation. Really IL IS a
protest against the unionst idea that every lush
bill is TO be subject TO veXatouS veto by the Eng
l1Sh parliament Dayitt. however. dlf RS In prac-
tical politics from Gladstone, Parneii, and other
of the Irish leaders, and hence his utterances are
OF no particular importance.
The great caucus meeting at nottingham Will
be the largest gathering OF the kind ever held Ii
will maintain the stiffeSt attitude on the Irish
question. The special interest in the meeting Will
be that IL will stamp the liberal party as radical
organization, the whig wing being practically
severed on the home-rule question.

circular from the DlStrlCt hn1gUtSs
THEIR CHANGES AGAINST THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
FOR GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND.
District Assembly &C, Knights OF Labor, OF this
city, nave prepared a circular which will be sent
throughout the State OF Maryland, urging the
Knights Of Labor not to support Mr.. E. E. Jackson,
the democratic nominee for governor. The circu-
lar states that Mr.. Jackson sis bidding for the
labor vote by announcing himself in the demo-
cratic press throughout the State as particular
friend OF the working classes; and, II is WELL
known throughout the District OF Columbia,
where he has large manufacturing interests that he
Is anything but friend OF the wOrkingman; that
1t was mainly through his efforts and influence In
the Bosses Protect Union hat the eight-hour
strike OF 1885 was maje fai lre." The circular
also formulates the following charges against Mr..
Jackson: That he 'did positively refuse to sell
material, or even allow to com into his mill Brother
j. P. Thomas a member of L. A. 267e, for no other
reason than that he had interested himself In the
strike for nine hours, and because he was known
to be Knight OF Labor; that the said E. E. Jack
son did promise Brother Mace Burke or l. A. 2672
steady employment II he would promise TO relin-
qush the K. OF L. forever" and that 1.-The said +.
Jackson did, during the strike for shorter hours
OF the building trades in May and June OF 1886
try to form an agreement with the other mill
bosses and carpenter bosses not to sell any ma
tertal in the building line to any person not a
member OF the bosses union. He also employed
men TO join L. A. 1854 to act spies for him, and
report to him all the proceedings OF said assem-
bly,"

NsTENpEp TO PREVENT POOR PRISONERS FROM
BECOMING VICTIMS OF sHYSTyR LAWYERS.
This morning, in the Police Court, Judge Smell
called up the officers OF the court and instructed
them to permit no prisoners to be inter-
viewed without permission Of the court.
The Judge said that there were many poor
persons who were arrested who do not need a
lawyer. Hereafter no attorneys would be per-
mitted to interview prisoners as they were on
their way from the van to the cells or after they
were placed In the cells without first obtaining
permission from the court. Certain practices have
been going on for some time and he knew that all
reputable attorneys would approve OF the courts
action.
Mr.. Padgett said he thought the move was
good one and would be heartily approved by all
reputable members Of the bar.
The judge subsequently issued the following:
'Order OF Court-NO persons, attorneys or Others
will be permitted to interview prisoners upon
their delivery from the van at the Police Court for
trial, or see or converse with prisoners at the
outer entrance door to the cells In the Police Court
building. No person or attorney will be permitted
to see or interview prisoners while at tie Police
Court for trial, except upon application to the
judge OF the court Ample Opportunity will be
given to consult counsel before the trial OF cases
commences in the morning and during the inter-
val between the trial OF District and United States
cases."
